He understood immediately and quickly changed the subject, “Ulric, as long as you don’t go too far, everything can be smoothed over. But if you keep disregarding everything for that woman, who will have a good impression of her?”
“I came in a hurry and didn’t inform her in advance. Now I just want to tell her so she won’t worry if she can’t find me.”
“How much trouble could she possibly have? Right now, it’s your biological mother lying in the hospital bed! If she doesn’t care about the difficult position you’re in at this moment, does she really have feelings for you?”
Ulric didn’t want to argue with his father at this time; he just glanced at the phone in his father’s hand.
The screen had never lit up; Rosalind hadn’t replied.
It seemed nothing had happened…
…
Rosalind felt like she had been thrown into a deep pit, surrounded by darkness, unable to see her own hand in front of her face.
She wanted to scream but no sound came out; she wanted to run but couldn’t move!
Suddenly, she heard someone calling her name from behind. Listening closely, it was her mother’s voice!
“Rosalind, Mommy can’t protect you anymore; Mommy has to go!”
“Rosalind, remember, Mommy really loves you…”
Rosalind desperately tried to run towards the source of the voice until she suddenly opened her eyes.
A white ceiling came into view, somewhat blinding.
The darkness was gone, and so was… her mother’s voice.
Beside her, Malcolm hurriedly grabbed her wrist, his voice filled with joy, “Rosalind, you’re finally awake!”
Rosalind slowly turned her gaze to his hand. Malcolm realized he was too excited and had crossed a line. He quickly let go and awkwardly smiled, “Um, Tilda was called away by the doctor. I’ll go get her back!”
After he left, Rosalind suddenly saw a man in a white lab coat walk in.
She didn’t recognize his face, but it was clear he had come specifically to see her.
“Rosalind, someone asked me to deliver a message to you.”
She looked up, her vision blurry, “Who are you…”
“Who I am is not important. What’s important is that you should know how to proceed from here! Otherwise, the consequences will be more than just what they are now.”
Rosalind clenched her fists tightly, “Sirena sent you!”
“Heh, she’s not capable of that.” The man chuckled deeply. “Don’t tell me you don’t even know who you’ve offended.”
“Is it the Walters family threatening me? My mom has already been killed by you people. What more can you do to me?” Rosalind tried to provoke him into revealing the truth to confirm her suspicions.
But the man neither confirmed nor denied it; he just kept laughing, a laugh that made one’s heart uneasy.
“Is your mom the only one you care about? No, you have many weaknesses that can be exploited! For example… that Malcolm teacher who just walked out, or-your good friend Tilda.”
Rosalind’s heart sank, “You better not touch her!”
“We have no interest in small fry like her. As long as you behave, everyone will be fine.”
After saying this, the man adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and turned to leave.
The door closed again, and the man seemed like a ghost, as if his visit had been an illusion.
But Rosalind knew it wasn’t an illusion!
At this point, how could she not understand?
The Walters family was indeed not something she could contend with.
“Rosalind!” Tilda’s voice came from afar as she pushed open the door and rushed to her bedside, out of breath. “You’re pregnant, did you know that?!”
“…”
“You knew?!” Seeing her silence, Tilda understood.
Rosalind pressed her dry lips together and spoke hoarsely, “Please, keep it a secret for me.”
